What do you have

[PIAA REF]

Player steals ball near half court. Dribbles in for an uncontested layup. Decides to throw ball off the back board, catches the ball and dunks it. What do you have?

Assuming this is during a live ball, I have nothing. Score 2 points for his/her team.

For that part nothing.

For the chin up, backboard slap, chest beat and yelling that this showboat will likely follow up the dunk with, I'll have a T for taunting.

How about the all crowd boo after calling a double dribble.

What double dribble would that be, since there wasn't one in the play you described?

And who cares about the all-crowd boo?

Their partners might boo the official that called that one too....

Maybe I have this play confused but I believe the dribble had ended when he stopped to throw the ball off the backboard. Then if he is the first to touch the ball off the backboard which since was not a shot it would be considered a dribble thus a dribble after giving up his dribble. Therefore Double Dribble.

Ever see that scene in the old Boris Karloff "Frankenstein" Movie where the angry villagers are chasing the monster with pitchforks and torches?

All you could say to the fans after that call is,

"FREEEEEEND.....FREEEEEND......GOOOOOOOOOOOOD....."

Only if he threw it off his opponents backboard. Tossing it off your own backboard is not a dribble.

By convention, the ball off the backboard was a shot.

You can't say that a underhand toss hard off the backboard was a shot. It was intended as a self pass

Maybe not. But by rule, you also can't call it a dribble. Therefore, no violation.

The ball off your own backboard is NOT considered a dribble.

Rule fundamentals:

19. A ball which touches the front face or edges of the backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds, except that when the ball touches the thrower's backboard, it does not constitute a part of a dribble.
